Customer Reviews

Great ball, nice material
I play mostly outdoors on concrete. This ball has good grip and nice bounce but not too bouncy like rubber so you'll get the soft roll. I've only used it about 10 hours collectively but it has retained it's initial quality so far. The logo's don't interfere much with your shot. I'd definitely get another one.

P.S. - Read the item description closely. When I bought this ball there was a picture of a Spalding Infusion basketball with the product description-but it's not.

great ball
great indoor/outdoor ball
it really feels perfect in your hand while dribbling and the grip definitely helps when pulling up for a jump shot or quickly moving the ball with your hands. It's weight is dead on. Doesn't lose air quickly and has no marks after playing 10 hours or so in the street, then playing a few hours in the gym (not 1 day, the lifespan of the ball so far)

Pleasent Surprise
Was totally shocked how nice this basketball was. This was a great buy because of the product and price. Fast shipping even with the busy Holiday Shipping going on. Thanks for another perfect Amazon experience.
